Babel

by Tor Åge Bringsværd, Thomas Falla Eriksen (Illustrator)

Fortellingen om den gang menneskene ville stikke hull på himmelen.

Når noe blir bare surr, kaller vi det gjerne "babelsk forvirring" og når noen snakker en masse tull, sier vi at han "babler". Slik bærer vi med oss minner fra en mange tusen år gammel historie – fortellingen om at alle mennesker opprinnelig hadde samme språk, men at de plutselig ikke forsto hverandre lenger.

I Babel tar forfatter Tor Åge Bringsværd og illustratør Thomas Falla Eriksen utgangspunkt i den kjente historien fra Bibelen om da folk i byen Babel ville bygge et tårn helt opp til himmelen.

About the author

Tor Åge Bringsværd was an author, playwright, editor, and translator and is perhaps best known for his speculative fiction. Together with long-time partner Jon Bing, he was also considered the first Norwegian author to write science fiction literature. Bringsværd regarded himself as an anarchist, which is clearly reflected in some of his works. He is also known for his distinctive style of writing, for example, his seemingly random jumps to narratives or anecdotes with no clear relationship to the main story.
